How to turn off User Account Control in Windows

Sources: 1

Issue:

When the User Account Control (UAC) in Windows is off so you can troubleshoot a software issue or to allow your program to run better, especially when it interacts with other software.

Causes:

Applications get often an timeout message.

Solution:

UAC is a Microsoft security tool that helps prevent intrusion of malicious software. It is not full-fledged anti-malware or an antivirus, but it does notify you of changes about to be made to your computer.

For troubleshooting application problems, temporarily disabling UAC may help pinpoint the problem or relieve the issue.  Be sure to restore your security settings as soon as your issue is resolved.

To turn off UAC:

1. Click the Start menu. In the search field type UAC.
2. Click "Change User Account Control settings."
3. In the window that comes up, move the slider down to "Never Notify."
4. Click OK and then restart the computer.

Note: UAC is a part from Microsoft®. Please contact also Mircosoft Support for more UAC details and permissions.
